However, starting with a Henry Fahnbulleh (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove) layup with 6:28 left on the clock, the Eagles would then outscore the Muskies 32-6, highlighted by an astonishing 6-for-8 from beyond the arc during the run. UNW would enter half time leading 57-31 thanks to the ridiculous run.
